(Sigh) I'm sorry you can identify with it so much... and there is no need to say anything... not saying anything said it all... HUGS hun... and thanks for reading it and for the points. I'm here if you ever need to talk!
Thanks guys... There are so many stories to tell, so many tales being told, so many lives being lived. Just sit a moment on a crowded city street and look intently into each of the faces passing by. They each have a story... many in fact. "What's their story?" I often wonder. What's YOURS?
Thank you, Aunt BJ, for the comforting and complimentary words. If someone I think so highly of thinks that much of my work... I am truly blessed.
Thank you too, Richard, for your opinion matters to me very much. Come to expect? Oh... I hope I don't let you down! I will ever try to live up to whatever your expectations may be. :-)
It takes no masculinity to push around some weaker than you are. Guys like this are cowards and would run from real man. They all get theirs sooner or later.
That was unique and great style of wring, which is what I've come to expect from you. And you never let me down.
Mary, makes me want to give you a big hug...(((hug))) This is a really touching one. I can feel the hurt, I can imagine myself ducking as the hurtful words are slung at me. You amaze me at your ability to pull the reader into the driver's seat! Good job! Love ya!
Thanks, David. Can I post it in both the poetry section AND the short story section? Just wondering. If I can, then I will at your suggestion... because I highly value everything you have to say, suggest, or proffer! :-)
And, yes, sad but true. There are too many people in the world like this, and all too often the victim in the family must listen time and again to friends, family, neighbors, and more say over and over just how wonderful Mr. Hyde is, and just how great a father he is, and just how luck SHE is to be married to him. And she? She sits and smiles, and nods, and plays her part... and cries in silence, and dies a little every day inside. Sigh...
Thank you for commenting. I'm glad it touched you.
This is a great and well-written story; kept my attention to the very end. Perhaps it should be put in the story section of the site as well.
This story makes me wonder just how many families have a man like this, and how seldom we realize it, even when we meet him. Some people are so good at living a double-life, like Jekel and Hyde.
Me? I just do what my wife tells me. Life is easier that way. lol
I read this story through and through and so many comments came to mind but once I got all the way through somehow nothing I thought seemed to matter. You covered all the basis, you summed it up, that's pretty much what happens when somebody gets dump, all the questions were answered, all the confusion cleared up. With plain simple everyday conversation, you told everyone whats up. I love your openess, and your honesty, and not holding back the hostility, this is the cold ugly truth, not just the facts and this is someones reality, not just a statistic, so all those words I was gonna say, I seemed to forget, and so now I must say I have no comment, Great write,good job, thanks
